| Resolved | August 4th |
Villa hold a longstanding interest in the 23-year-old Argentina winger, having been credited with an offer earlier in the summer as they weighed wide-forward options. Reporting on July 21st placed Fiorentina among the clubs now exploring a move, with Sunderland also credited with interest, though Soulé is said to prefer a Premier League switch. Roma, who value him at around €40m, could sanction a sale; he returned seven goals and eight assists in 41 games in 2025-26. No fresh Villa bid has been reported and the link is aggregator-tier, one of several names in the post-Rogers wide search rather than an advanced pursuit.
